I tried VSL3 and it works great, although does not eliminate the symptoms wholly. I can totally tolerate non-grain sources of IF if I take it and the pain I get from too much fat is also less.

It is quite expensive however so I cannot keep taking it long-term so financially it's more worth taking just the SF supplement, which VSL3 basically substitutes for me.

I reckon all people are different so my experience may not be that much help.

--------------------
now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols)

before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010

FODMAPs: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/072710p30.shtml

[I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)]
